Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of altitude on the phytochemical and antioxidant content of sawi langit (Vernonia cinerea L.) root. Sawi langit is a herbaceous plant that has potential as a medicinal plant. This plant can thrive in the tropics. In this study, sawi langit were taken from three altitudes, namely <400 masl, 401-800 masl and >801 masl in the Banyumas, central Java. The sample used was sawi langit root which was extracted using 3 types of solvents (methanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexan). Phytochemical tests showed positive results of the content of flavonoid, alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids and saponins compounds in the extract of sawi langit root from the three altitude with differences effectiveness of each solvent. At an altitude of <400 masl and extraction using methanol resulted strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 value 78.56 ± 3.2  μg/ml compared to an altitude of 401-800 masl and >801 masl

Abstract

Axonopus compressus (Sw.) Beauv. is a type of weeds that grows invasively and wildly. The weeds growth can be controlled by applying bioherbicides. The leaf extracts of Wedelia trilobata, Achasma walang, and Ageratum conyzoides produce allelochemicals that can be used as bioherbicides. The study aims to determine the effects of applying bioherbicides from the leaf extracts of W. trilobata, A. walang, and A. conyzoides on the morphology and stomata of A. compressus weeds. This study was done by: 1) making the leaf extracts W. trilobata, A. walang, and A. conyzoides with each concentration is 10 ppm, 25 ppm, and 50 ppm; 2) giving the leaf extracts treatment on the growth of A. compressus weeds; and 3) making observations on the morphology and stomata of A. compressus weeds. The results showed that there were morphological transformations on the A. compressus weeds after applying the bioherbicides. The transformations were seen in the changing color of the leaves, the reduced leaf size, and the increased number of chlorotic leaves. Meanwhile, the effects of applying the bioherbicides on the stomata of A. compressus weeds were also found, i.e. in the changing size of stomata, and the increased of stomatal index and density.
